Do-it-yourself shed from a profile pipe. Finished barn project. We build a barn from a profile pipe with our own hands: tips and recommendations. Building walls in the barn

A barn is a building necessary in a private courtyard in a city and in a village. You can't do without it in the country. Gradually, more and more tools, equipment, building materials are accumulated that need to be stored somewhere. A reliable shelter for all these things is a metal shed. If you know how to weld metal, it will not be difficult for you to make it yourself. It is obtained at a cost approximately equal to wood, and much cheaper than brick.

Iron barn construction technologies

There are capital metal sheds, and there are prefabricated ones. A capital iron shed may have a concrete floor, which is poured onto a prepared base, or maybe a wooden one. If a floor is planned from boards, the upper trim on which it will rest is made of a thick-walled profile pipe with a section of 60 * 60 mm or 60 * 40 mm or a corner with a wall thickness of 4-5 mm or more. Floor logs are attached to the strapping. They can also be metal, or they can be wooden.

In a small metal shed, you can also make a floor without a log. To do this, the harness can be made from a corner with a thickness of about 4-6 mm and a side of at least 10 cm. Use the corner shelf as a support for the boards. Only the board must be at least 40 mm thick. Large spans may require additional support. It can be made from a profile pipe of the appropriate section.

Metal shed with wooden floor

A prefabricated / collapsible metal shed consists of separately welded wall frames that are bolted together. Sheathing is most often a profiled sheet, which is quickly mounted and removed. The roof is made of the same material. You can install such a structure in the country in a couple of hours as well as dismantle it. They are placed for the season in unguarded dachas, and then they are either hidden under lock and key, or taken away to winter quarters.

There is another option for a prefabricated barn (they are also called a “hozblok”) - for those who do not want to mess with manufacturing. The industry produces ready-made kits that are assembled as a designer. There are Chinese-made options, there are domestic ones. The difference in price is not catastrophic 20-30%. And what you trust more, then choose. The assembly of one of the Russian iron collapsible sheds is shown in the video.

How to make a fence from corrugated board, read here, and the installation of a fence from a chain-link mesh is described in this article.

Do-it-yourself metal shed from a profiled sheet: photo

They were built from pipes of different sections and corrugated board, with a pitched roof. The dimensions of the barn are 6.5 * 4 meters, the height of the front wall is 2.5 m, the back wall is 2.15 m. The floor is made of concrete: in winter there will be nothing but a tool and a warm floor is useless.

materials

Racks from round pipes with a diameter of 61 mm. They were chosen because they were on the farm. Strapping and intermediate racks from a rectangular pipe - profiled (60-40 mm and 40 * 20 mm). Wall thickness everywhere - 2 mm.

Consumption through pipes: round 32 m, profile larger section - 21 m, smaller - 156 m. Roofing decking MP-20 took 4 sheets 3.5 m long, and 4 - 4 m each, galvanized intake C8 - on the walls - 4 sheets 2.15 m each, 16 sheets 2.5 m each. This is a list of frame materials. And also fasteners and consumables for concreting:

16 bags of cement;
7 tons of gravel;
waterproofing (1 roll);
self-tapping screws, rivets, electrodes for welding;
Wooden slats on the crate: 50 * 25 mm - 3 pcs. 6 meters.

The list of building materials is impressive. But at a price such a barn is still cheaper than a brick one.

Step by step construction

Start of work - marking the site. Pegs are driven in in the corners, diagonals are checked. If they are even, the twine is stretched, the installation sites of the racks are marked along it. In the marked places, shafts 60 cm deep were made with a drill. Pipes are exposed in them and poured with concrete mortar (M200).

First exposed and poured racks in the corners. When the concrete had set a little, fishing lines were tied to them - above and below. The rest followed suit.

Pipes exposed and concreted

The next step is welding the frame. A pipe 60 * 40 mm with a wall thickness of 2 mm is welded along the top of the pipes. Next, on one of the pipes in the corners, we mark the level of the floor. With the help of a hydraulic level, we transfer it to the rest of the corner posts. At these marks we tie the twine and transfer them to all racks. According to the marking, we weld a pipe 40 * 20 mm around the perimeter. By the same principle, we weld the crossbars in the middle: two are definitely needed. In order to freely drive a walk-behind tractor or a wheelbarrow in the door, they are made wide and high - 1.2 * 2 meters. The base of the metal shed has already been assembled with your own hands.

Frame for a metal shed

Next is the assembly of guides for the roof. We needed three farms 6.5 meters long. They were welded on the ground, then welded to opposite beams. After that, transverse pipe sections 40 * 20 mm (10 pieces) were welded. The frame of the metal shed is completely ready. The next stage is a primer - so that it does not rust.

Next, we started making concrete floors. First, formwork was installed. She was put outside the frame, stepping back 10 cm. They fixed the boards with pegs, propped them up with bricks so that the concrete would not move apart. Next, the foundation was prepared. Crushed stone and broken bricks were driven into the ground. They literally hammered it in with a rubber mallet. A piece of brick is placed on the ground, knocked until it is almost completely hidden. This makes the base more rigid, and an even uneven surface better adheres to the ground.

Installed formwork

After that, beacons were put on a thick solution - even slats (board 25 * 50 mm), they were leveled along the fishing line: points were marked at opposite ends of the lower trim and a fishing line was pulled between them. After checking its horizontalness, beacons-slats were placed along it.

Lighthouses were set up on a broken brick hammered into the ground

After the mortar had set on the lighthouses, they poured M-250 concrete (read about the grades of concrete and their composition here). They leveled the rule according to the exposed beacons and pipes of the lower trim, which were set at the same level.

This is what the concrete floor in the barn looks like after the mortar has set.

Next, the installation of the cladding began - the profiled sheet. We started from the roof. So that the condensate that will form on the metal does not drip onto the head, first a waterproofing film was spread on the frame. It is laid with an overlap of one panel on another by about 10 centimeters, gluing them together with special double-sided tape (sold in the same place as waterproofing). It is better not to use ordinary plastic wrap: it lasts no longer than a few years - a maximum of -3-5.

Laying waterproofing starts from the bottom, moving up, gluing the panels. So it turns out that a drop that falls from above flows down to the very bottom. The strips were cut off longer than necessary and hung down a little at the edges (30 cm each) - so that water would drain from them and snow would not fall into small gaps with a side wind.

Next, the installation of the profiled sheet began. When laying any sheet material on the roof, it is important to set the first sheet correctly. Then everything will go on easily. Therefore, we carefully measure all the protrusions with squares, rulers, etc. When the sheet is exposed, it is screwed with self-tapping screws. They are placed in a wave - in a ledge. So there is less chance that water will get into the hole.

With the lining of the sides, everything is about the same, only you have to cut the top sheets because of the slope. You put the first one exactly, then everything is like clockwork. The new sheet is leveled along the wave and fastened. It took about 20 screws to fasten one profiled sheet.

Do-it-yourself barn made of metal (corrugated board)

The door frame was welded from the same profile pipe 40 * 20 mm, hinges were welded on. When sheathing the door, it was removed and sewn up on a flat surface, hung already in finished form.

You can read more about sliding gates here.

The metal shed was sheathed in the corners with a metal corner. It is set on rivets. It serves for decoration, and also closes small gaps that were formed during docking at the corners.

It turned out more than a spacious building - 26 squares. It can be used to store inventory, building materials, taking part under the workshop. This is if he stands on the site near the house.

For a dacha without security, a metal shed is a risky business, except to sheathe it with wood on top. Then you have to fasten the wooden sheathing to the frame (pictured below).

A shed with wood paneling on a metal frame is built like this

You can read about the construction of a wooden shed here.

We build an iron frame shed without welding: video

Not everyone knows how to use welding, but drilling holes and bolting two elements together is much easier. The video shows the entire process of assembling a decent-sized barn from a profile pipe with bolted connections. Welding used once: hinges are welded. There are no bolts here.

A barn is a necessary component of almost every suburban area and household plot. Do not do without it and in the country. Increasingly, profiled steel sheets are being used for the construction of sheds.

Features of the choice of material

The choice of a metal profile before starting construction requires increased attention. And the point is not only that it is necessary to eliminate confusion between the material intended for walls and the profile for roofing. The sheet that is intended for facade decoration is marked with a capital letter "C". After it comes a numerical index, from 8 to 21, which tells a lot to professionals. The metal profile of groups C8 and C10 is recommended for the inside of the walls, all other brands are allowed to be installed outside.

If you need to make the wall as strong as possible, it is advisable to use sheets with corrugation reaching a height of 18-21 mm. But, in addition to the parameters of the corrugations, it is worth thinking about the width of the gutters, which directly affects the total rigidity of the product. The best gutters are those that bring rainwater down and prevent it from penetrating under the cover. They make the wall more durable than the simplest solutions. It is very important to calculate the load in advance so as not to mount unnecessarily expensive structures and not face the risk of collapse.

But saving on the quality of corrugated board coating does not justify itself at all. Good steel with a zinc layer still quickly rusts under the pressure of rain and snow. Very soon characteristic dirty spots will appear. Much more reliable polyester, polyurethane or plastisol. Corrugated sheets can be placed on top of a wooden frame both vertically and horizontally, which is important to consider when calculating the amount of material.

Location on the building site

But choosing the right material is just the beginning. It is extremely important to choose a suitable place for a corrugated shed.

The main criteria here will be:

the impossibility or inexpediency of growing plants;
low illumination;
convenient access regardless of the time of day and year;
equidistance in relation to the house, other outbuildings and to the entrance (entrance);
minimal risk of flooding from rain and snow.

Each of these points is equally important. So, occupying a space where you can grow vegetables, or at least flowers, is impractical. It is required to bring in and take out at least sometimes quite significant loads into the barn. And therefore, the more convenient it is located, the better for the residents. Flooding water can ruin not only wall structures and foundations, but almost any thing.

Sanitary standards prescribe not to build a barn closer than 12 m from residential buildings, both on your site and in neighboring households. Even with strict adherence to standards, distances to the fence, and so on, it is advisable to discuss your intentions with your neighbors in advance. Conflicts are not worth the benefit of arbitrary choice of location. Usually, the building is turned with windows and a door to the south in order to increase illumination and speed up drying. Of course, it is also important to remember about the distances from gas pipes, wells, wells, power lines, about the maximum allowable slope of the terrain.

Most owners try to "hide" the shed behind the house, bring it closer to the gardens and orchards. This is not only convenient, but also justified by a very unpresentable view of the building. But corrugated structures are an exception, especially if they fit well into the landscape. To decorate the space, designs with drawings on the facade or having an original geometric shape are chosen. In any case, it is worth thinking about the balance between utility and external elegance.

Construction order

The most practical shape of a shed when building with your own hands is a rectangle. Advance preparation of drawings will help to exclude the slightest errors and unaccounted moments. It is recommended to assemble the structure with bolts. This is not only faster and cheaper than welding, but also safer and allows you to quickly dismantle the building if necessary. The selected site is freed from everything that can only interfere with the construction and operation of the barn.

It is very important to consider the arrangement of windows and doors at the design stage. During the construction itself, experienced craftsmen carefully check whether the vertical and horizontal lines of these elements are clearly maintained, whether there are any deviations from the plane. At the bottom, the opening is cut off at an angle of 30 degrees, later a window sill will rise there, cut off at the same angle. This will facilitate the outflow of water. Closing joints and cracks with sealants will help increase the operating time of the window.

Oriented strand boards are used for interior finishing. If there is even the slightest possibility, they take care of the installation of electrical wiring. It is recommended to equip the walls with shelves or mount shelving. For your information: the dimensions of the shelves and racks may vary, since you have to store a variety of things in terms of weight and dimensions. To create shelves and other structures, only well-planned wood should be used to reduce the risk of getting a splinter.

Foundation

A place for the base is made on a well-prepared site, choosing the type of foundation in advance:

monolithic slab;
finished blocks;
poured tape.

Since the construction of the profiled sheet has a small mass, you can put it on blocks or a tape with a shallow depth. The number of occasions when it is required to form a slab is very small. A monolithic base has another advantage, not related to the strength of the building - it turns into the floor of the future barn. The pits are surrounded by formwork. It does not matter whether the tape is poured around the perimeter or the monolith over the entire area, it is required to wait 4 days until the concrete has completely hardened.

Solid foundations are best created by pouring 0.5 m of a mixture of sand and gravel 1: 1. For your information: this backfill should not reach the very edge. The backfilled layer is thoroughly rammed and covered with rubble, slightly rising above the ground. After tamping, it is covered with a mesh of reinforcement and a wooden formwork is placed around the entire perimeter. Now you can pour concrete to a depth of about 0.3 m.

frame

The step-by-step instruction provides for the implementation of the bottom strapping in such a way that it then becomes the basis for flooring and installing vertical supports. The timber is fastened with spikes and grooves, further reinforcing them with metal corners. The floor is laid using crossbars with a step of no more than 0.6 m. Having connected the racks of vertical supports with the lower structure, then you need to make them bundled with the upper trim.

All these details are verified in advance according to the building level. But even during the construction process, their geometry should be controlled. Connections are created by screwing long self-tapping screws at certain angles, reinforcement is made with steel corners. Mutual removal of any two racks by more than 100 cm is not allowed.

Attention: you will have to build window and door openings at the same time as the frame, since they are its integral parts. Since the steel sheet and the profile pipe are “cold” materials, they will have to be insulated for the sake of comfort in the country house or in a country house. For thermal protection of corrugated structures, basalt slabs can be used, which do not burn, allow steam to pass through and are environmentally friendly. Cheaper glass wool slabs are harmful to health during operation and at the slightest violation of the integrity of the “pie”, in addition, after 10-15 years they lose their valuable qualities.

Walls

When the frame is ready, you need to take on the construction of walls. Paronite gaskets are necessarily placed in them, creating a thermal break. Plates of insulating materials are mounted using dowels, and films are attached on top that stop the action of moisture and gusts of wind. Guides in the form of the letter "P", if attached to the bracket, will help level the front surface; air gaps should remain between them and the films. Next, the profiles are attached horizontally to the guides placed vertically.

Insulation with sawdust is not very practical: yes, they are cheap, but they quickly cake, get wet and deteriorate easily. Mineral wool is usually placed on top of a wooden crate. A vapor barrier film is always placed above it, since the slightest dampness is contraindicated. Styrofoam boards can be glued without wasting energy on mechanical fasteners. But an additional sheet overlay is needed to reduce the risk of mechanical failure.

Roof

The roof on the barn can be made with one or two slopes. Shed solutions require raising one wall above the opposite one, otherwise the slope will not work. In regions with warm winters, a slope of 15-20 degrees is enough, but if snowstorms are frequent in some area, there is a lot of precipitation, it is required to increase it to 30-45 degrees. Too steep a roof is also impractical, it can easily collapse even under the pressure of a moderate wind.

In any case, the rafters are first prepared and the crate is mounted on them. To make the job easier, the truss structures are assembled on the ground and only then lifted, setting from the end. The skate is carefully aligned along the center line, which is indicated by a rope. A layer protecting from water is placed on the crate, then a profiled sheet goes (already roofing, of course). The inner plane of the roof is made out with clapboard or plastic panels.

Outside the city, a necessary building, without which it is simply impossible to do, is a barn.

In the country, he will also become an indispensable assistant for many. It is easy to make using metal, if you have at least some welding skills.

The cost of such a building is much less than that of brick ones, but it is not inferior to wooden counterparts, therefore it is profitable to build a barn from a profile pipe with your own hands from an economic point of view.

We build iron sheds with our own hands - technology

The structure can be both prefabricated and capital. There is a separate solution for those who have chosen the capital option.

Work begins with a concrete floor. It is poured onto the surface of the base, the preparation of which is carried out in advance. But the construction of wooden flooring is also allowed.

Plank flooring requires a special approach.

It is necessary to take a profile pipe with thick walls, with a section of 60 by 40 or 60 by 60 mm.
You will also need a corner, in which the wall thickness reaches 4-5 millimeters.

Parts can be either metal or wood. They will be needed when we start building the frame of a barn from a profile pipe with our own hands.

It is possible to create a floor where there are no logs if the building has small dimensions. The harness consists of corners with a thickness of 4-6 mm, with a side of at least 10 cm. The boards will then rest on the corner shelf.

The main thing is that the thickness of the board is at least 4 cm. Additional support is needed if the span is large enough. To do this, it is enough to take a profile pipe, the diameter of which corresponds to the characteristics.

Metal body and wooden floor

A prefabricated metal structure, like a collapsible one, is made of wall frames. They are welded separately. Bolts are used for connection.

A professional sheet is used as a sheathing. It is quickly and easily mounted by hand. The roof is also recommended to be done using a profiled sheet.

Such structures are easy not only to build, but also to dismantle if necessary. They are placed for one season in dachas, which are not additionally protected in any way.

In addition, the industry produces ready-made metal structures that can be assembled on the site, like a designer. They are produced by both domestic and foreign manufacturers, including Chinese ones.

We build a barn using a metal profile

For example, let's build a building with our own hands measuring six and a half by four meters. The front wall has a height of 2.5 meters. The back wall is slightly smaller - 2.15 m.

It is desirable to make the floor concrete. This is true if nothing is stored inside, only tools. Next, we build a barn from a profile pipe.

We take racks of steel round pipes with a diameter of 6 cm. Such pipes are easy to find in the private sector, but you can choose other diameters. A profile pipe with a rectangular section is used to create a rack with intermediate strapping.

Its diameter is 40 by 20 millimeters or 40 by 60. The walls must be the same thickness up to 2 millimeters.

Consumables will be as follows:

These materials are needed only in order to build a frame. Do not forget about fasteners for concreting and other types of consumables.

For the crate you need a set of wooden slats. They need to take 6 pieces with a length of 6 meters. The diameter should be within 5 by 2.5 centimeters.
Welding is not complete without electrodes and rivets, you will also need self-tapping screws.
1 roll of materials with waterproofing properties is required.
Gravel in the amount of 7 tons.
Cement, in 16 bags.

This is part of the answer to the question of how to build a barn from a profile pipe.

Instructions on how to build a barn with your own hands

Work begins with marking on the site. In the corners, you need to drive in pegs, and then check the diagonal. The twine can then be pulled only if everything turned out to be even.

This detail is important for marking the places where the racks will be installed. Mines up to 60 centimeters deep are made in places marked with a drill.

They expose metal pipes. We take concrete solution brand at least M200, fill everything.

Racks are poured in the corners immediately after exposure. Fishing lines are tied to them when the concrete hardens a little. They should be both below and above. The rest are leveled by the first parts fixed in place.

Next, the metal frame is welded. A 60 x 40 mm pipe is welded at the top of the structure. Its wall thickness is 2 mm. On the corner pipes, it is necessary to mark the level where the floor will be.

We use the hydraulic level to transfer marks to other parts of the structure. Based on these marks, the twine is tied. Then everything is transferred to other racks.

A pipe 40 by 20 millimeters is tied around the perimeter, the main thing is to match the markings. The crossbars in the middle are welded in compliance with the same principle. You will definitely need two pipes. At this stage, the metal frame for the barn can already be considered assembled.

Building on - the next steps

Then do-it-yourself guides for the roof are assembled. First, a metal structure is welded on the ground, and then attached to beams that are opposite each other.

After that, you need a primer, it will help the barn not to rust.

A concrete floor is prepared separately. It all starts with the installation of formwork. It is exposed outside the frame, stepping back 10 cm. The boards are fixed with a peg. And they prop it up using bricks. Then the concrete will not put pressure on the structure, push it apart.

Broken brick or crushed stone is driven into the prepared site.
An ordinary mallet is also suitable for this.
We lay a broken brick on the surface of the soil and drive it into the ground.
The result is a more rigid foundation. In addition, after this, the adhesion between flat ground and the ground is improved.

The beacons are exposed to the solution, which is still thick. These are flat slats in the form of boards, with a diameter of 25 by 50 mm. They are leveled on a special fishing line.

We mark several points at the ends of the strapping below, located on opposite sides. Between them you need to stretch the fishing line. Beacons-panels are set along it after the horizontalness is checked.

What other steps are needed to build a barn from a profile pipe?

You need to wait a bit until the solution on the surface of the beacons becomes dry. Then everything is poured with concrete, grade M-250.

Watch the video

They proceed to do-it-yourself installation of sheathing from a profiled sheet. It is better to start with the main part of the roof. Laying a film with waterproofing properties is the first step, then the water will definitely not get on the head.
First there is one panel, and on it - the next. Step - 10 cm. For gluing, use adhesive tape with two sides.
Waterproofing spreads gradually, starting from the bottom and ending with the top.
The next step is the installation of the profiled sheet itself. The main thing is to set the first sheet correctly, this applies to any sheet material. Further work in this case will be easy and smooth. For measurements, squares, rulers and so on are used.
The sheet is screwed with screws after it is exposed.
Approximately the same principle is followed when it comes to side trim.

It can take up to 20 screws to fasten one sheet.

What's in the final stages?

From a profile pipe 40 by 20 millimeters, a frame for the door is cooked (). Loops without welding cannot be attached to the structure either. The door can be sheathed separately from the rest of the details, and then hung ready-made.
The barn is sheathed around the edges with a metal corner. The leaf itself is planted on rivets. This is necessary not only for decorative decoration, but also for closing any possible cracks.

As a result, the room turned out to be 26 square meters. This is more than an impressive area. As you can see, building everything with your own hands is not so difficult.

About some features of construction

The metal profile is most often used for shed upholstery, instead of boards. The material is easier to install, compared to its counterparts, it is more durable and more affordable.

But more rigidity sometimes gives all the same plank upholstery. It would be nice to strengthen the frame by installing jibs if the metal profile spans in the sheds are large enough.

For the metal profile and its fastening, special washers are needed - galvanized, with additional linings. But you can also put ordinary varieties if the above details are not available.

Watch the video

Corner elements are also needed special. It is recommended to lay the roof itself on the gasket. Otherwise, during the rain there will be a lot of unnecessary noise.

When connecting metal to a metal profile, they resort to using ordinary self-tapping screws, with heads similar to the tip of a drill. These drills need to drill both parts.

The main thing is to use a good screwdriver with enough power. Sometimes a hole is drilled first, and then a sheet with a self-tapping screw is fixed.

A barn from a profile pipe with your own hands will be ready quickly. Watch the video materials presented by us, and it will not be difficult to build everything with your own hands. Below are the drawings.

Household buildings must be functional and "convenient" to use. The construction of a barn in the country almost always comes down to the construction of not the most optimal option due to the fact that the homeowner does not imagine the full range of purposes of the facility being built. Will it be used only for warehousing or for other functions?

Regardless of the exact purpose, one of the best choices is a frame shed for any purpose. Let's discuss its benefits by numbers!

One! Various sizes.

A big plus of such structures is their standardization and the availability of ready-made offers on the market. The cost of building a turnkey barn is very easy to calculate. They do not require the installation of a foundation, and therefore it is enough just to specify the required size (examples: 6x3 or 3x6, 3x2, 4x2, etc.). You can pick up both large-sized options, and small-sized ones.

Two! Versatility.

You can use the frame panel house for a variety of needs. From the storage of tools, supplies, fertilizers and feed to the placement of a subsidiary farm. It is allowed to use such outbuildings for animals and poultry.

Three! Inexpensive and high quality material.

Let's briefly go through the main advantages of wood that has undergone preliminary preparation and processing:

Low prices. The cost of wood is lower compared to most types of bricks, concretes and metals.

Small specific gravity. Prefabricated frame houses are light, do not create a load on the ground, can be transported without disassembly if necessary.

These advantages of the material make it ideal for use in Moscow and the Moscow region, where the cost of construction is high, and therefore the construction of buildings from timber and wood in general is the best choice.

Four! Rapid construction of standard objects.

You can order an economy version with a shed roof, or choose a more expensive project with a veranda, multi-layer insulation and other improvements. In this case, the standard components of the building will be offered to you in advance. It is possible to order production according to individual sizes and drawings, but this is almost always redundant. The generic models are very good.

Five! Cheap and cheerful!

If you find out how much it costs to build objects from different types of materials, a frame-panel shed will almost always win in comparison. Low price and at the same time unlimited possibilities in terms of household applications make frame sheds the best investment!

The house can be stone or wooden, one-story or multi-story. But the presence of only one residential building, albeit very comfortable and cozy, will not be enough for permanent residence outside the city. It will be necessary to store garden and agricultural tools, any blanks and other equipment, which, as a rule, are not placed in the house. Ready-made project of a barn for summer cottages from corrugated board For these purposes, a barn is required, since not a single site outside the city can do without at least one non-residential outbuilding.

For the construction of a barn, it is not necessary to involve construction companies or teams of professional workers; it is quite possible to erect it with your own hands. It can be done in many different ways and from completely different materials, for example, metal.

Benefits of metal sheds

Such a barn can be given an original appearance and design, it will be distinguished by the highest degree of its reliability and ease of installation. Compared to barns and, it will stand out for its durability and will not require any specific knowledge and skills for construction.

An example of a prefabricated metal shed for a house or cottage

The galvanized surface is known for its reliability during operation, it will protect the metal shed from adverse weather conditions and metal corrosion, and the reinforced roof of such a structure will withstand winter snow blockages. This practical design, made by hand, will become simply indispensable in any summer cottage.

In addition, metal, unlike wood, does not allow moisture to pass through itself, which will allow you to store property in the barn throughout the calendar year and not be afraid for its safety. Such a barn can also act as a garage if a motorcycle, moped or bicycles are available. In addition, it is also suitable for storing firewood, as it will protect them from moisture and will not allow them to become damp.

Choosing a construction site for a shed

Before starting construction work, it will be necessary to choose a place where a metal shed will be built.

Site preparation and installation of a barn frame made of metal pipes Each owner determines it independently, depending on his personal preferences, based on the size of the site. If you care about the appearance of the site as a whole, it will not be advisable to build a barn in the most prominent place in front of the house. It is advisable to choose the optimal territory so that the house, if possible, blocks the barn.

At the same time, you can paint a metal building with your own hands with your favorite type of paint and in any color, which will help it blend in with the environment as much as possible and harmoniously fit into the design of the site. One has only to make sure that the barn is not located in a lowland, where excess water accumulates from excessive precipitation.

Of course, many materials and tools are now available that increase resistance to undesirable weather conditions, but too frequent contact with moisture will still not benefit the building.

Slab foundation for a metal shed

General description of metal sheds

Usually, such sheds of a standard design are assembled by hand, right on the spot from metal sheets and profiles, without the involvement of craftsmen or the use of special mechanisms. When the location has already been chosen, a flat and even surface must first be prepared for the barn.

The base can be a wooden bridge or paving slabs, the main thing is to lay it evenly and, at the same time, it is necessary that the base be sufficiently rigid.

These conditions must be met in order to avoid deformation of the frame during operation, which can later lead to breakdowns and difficulties with opening and closing doors.

The frame of the shed consists of galvanized profiles that are not subject to rust and corrosion. The optimal material for such a frame is corrugated steel.

Arrangement of a shed frame made of metal profiles The standard wall thickness is usually half a centimeter, and the frame should be twice as wide.

Metal sheds for summer cottages allow you to make multi-leaf sliding doors in them with your own hands, which will be especially convenient if you plan to keep motorcycles, scooters or other vehicles in such sheds. If you do not plan to use the barn as a garage, then such doors can still come in handy, especially when you have to bring some large items into it.

In addition, sliding doors help save space, and in winter they open much easier and simpler than ordinary ones, since they do not require clearing the surrounding area from snow and ice. Do not forget about the ventilation grilles, which will help to ventilate the interior and will not allow the air to stagnate, which will also prevent the appearance of mold on the walls.

Barn with sliding doors There are models of sheds of the so-called quick disassembly. Such a do-it-yourself metal shed is distinguished by both simplicity of design and quick dismantling if necessary.

The technology of self-construction of a metal barn

If you decide to build such a barn with your own hands, then for this you will need the following tools and materials:

A variant of the project of a metal barn from a profile for self-construction

angle grinder ("grinder") and spare discs for it;
welding machine and a protective mask for safety during work;
drill;
construction drill;
measuring instruments, such as - tape measure, corner, rulers, building level;
hammer, sledgehammer;
shovel;
thick fishing line;
nail puller;
riveter;
clamps;
self-tapping screws, nails, screws;
material for waterproofing;
round and profile pipes;
galvanized corrugated board;
gravel;
cement;
wooden slats and corners.

The list of required materials and tools turns out to be quite solid, it will require appropriate financial investments, but such a do-it-yourself building will still come out cheaper than brick and more reliable than wood.

A variant of a shed made of galvanized iron sheets If everything you need has already been bought and prepared, then you can proceed to the first stage of the construction work itself. First you need to measure the already thought-out dimensions of the future barn on the site, and drive temporary pegs into the ground at the corners of its area.

After that, it is necessary to check the diagonal - if it completely coincides, then a thick fishing line is stretched between the driven pegs, guided by which you can drive in a few more new pegs.

Their number depends on the size of the garage area, and it will be possible to navigate in this regard already in the process of work.

After this has been done, it is necessary to make holes with a depth of 50-70 cm using a construction drill.

When the above-described do-it-yourself blanks are built, you can start making concrete mix. The optimal ratio in the manufacture will be 5 buckets of water to 1 bucket of cement.

In order not to return to this procedure many times, you can get a large amount of the mixture at a time, for example, using an old unnecessary bath.

With the help of the resulting mixture, it is initially necessary to concrete four pipes at the corners marked at the construction site of the area. Further, the pipes can be connected with a thick fishing line, as was already the case with pegs, but this can only be done when the concrete begins to harden and the pipes begin to stand firmly in their places.

A stretched fishing line will help to quickly and accurately concrete other pipes around the perimeter. The process of solidification of concrete will be completed only after two days. When this happens, it will be possible to proceed to the next stage of construction - to weld the frame of the barn. To do this, along the entire marked perimeter, a profile pipe with thick walls will be welded to the top of the pillars.

Drawing with the dimensions of the frame of a metal shed To build a similar frame, a 60/40 or 70/50 mm pipe is suitable. Smaller pipes cannot be used under such a frame. The entire weight of the roof of the building rests on them. It is extremely important to ensure that the joints are not in the middle of the pipes, but with a slight shift to the side by about 1.5-2.5 cm, this will facilitate the work when sheathing the barn.

At the next stage, using a marker, it is necessary to make marks on the lower parts of the corner pipes, which will be the floor level. Here again, you will need a thick fishing line, which will need to connect the received marks together, and with the help of it, apply the same marks to the remaining pipes.

Outside the city, a necessary building, without which it is simply impossible to do, is a barn. In the country, he will also become an indispensable assistant for many. It is easy to make using metal, if you have at least some welding skills.

The structure can be both prefabricated and capital. There is a separate solution for those who have chosen the capital option.

Work begins with a concrete floor. It is poured onto the surface of the base, the preparation of which is carried out in advance. But the construction of wooden flooring is also allowed.

Plank flooring requires a special approach.

It is necessary to take a profile pipe with thick walls, with a section of 60 by 40 or 60 by 60 mm.
You will also need a corner, in which the wall thickness reaches 4-5 millimeters.

Parts can be either metal or wood. They will be needed when we start building the frame of a barn from a profile pipe with our own hands.

It is possible to create a floor where there are no logs if the building has small dimensions. The harness consists of corners with a thickness of 4-6 mm, with a side of at least 10 cm. The boards will then rest on the corner shelf.

Metal body and wooden floor

A prefabricated metal structure, like a collapsible one, is made of wall frames. They are welded separately. Bolts are used for connection.

A professional sheet is used as a sheathing. It is quickly and easily mounted by hand. The roof is also recommended to be done using a profiled sheet.

Such structures are easy not only to build, but also to dismantle if necessary. They are placed for one season in dachas, which are not additionally protected in any way.

We build a barn using a metal profile

For example, let's build a building with our own hands measuring six and a half by four meters. The front wall has a height of 2.5 meters. The back wall is slightly smaller - 2.15 m.

It is desirable to make the floor concrete. This is true if nothing is stored inside, only tools. Next, we build a barn from a profile pipe.

We take racks of steel round pipeshaving a diameter of 6 cm. Such pipes are easy to find in the private sector, but you can choose other diameters. A profile pipe with a rectangular section is used to create a rack with intermediate strapping.

Its diameter is 40 by 20 millimeters or 40 by 60. The walls must be the same thickness up to 2 millimeters.

Consumables will be as follows:

These materials are needed only in order to build a frame. Do not forget about fasteners for concreting and other types of consumables.

For the crate you need a set of wooden slats. They need to take 6 pieces with a length of 6 meters. The diameter should be within 5 by 2.5 centimeters.
Welding is not complete without electrodes and rivets, you will also need self-tapping screws.
1 roll of materials with waterproofing properties is required.
Gravel in the amount of 7 tons.
Cement, in 16 bags.

This is part of the answer to the question of how to build a barn from a profile pipe.

Instructions on how to build a barn with your own hands

Work begins with marking on the site. In the corners, you need to drive in pegs, and then check the diagonal. The twine can then be pulled only if everything turned out to be even.

This detail is important for marking the places where the racks will be installed. Mines up to 60 centimeters deep are made in places marked with a drill.

They expose metal pipes. We take concrete solution brand at least M200, fill everything.

Next, the metal frame is welded. A 60 x 40 mm pipe is welded at the top of the structure. Its wall thickness is 2 mm. On the corner pipes, it is necessary to mark the level where the floor will be.

We use the hydraulic level to transfer marks to other parts of the structure. Based on these marks, the twine is tied. Then everything is transferred to other racks.

Building on - the next steps

Then do-it-yourself guides for the roof are assembled. First, a metal structure is welded on the ground, and then attached to beams that are opposite each other.

After that, you need a primer, it will help the barn not to rust.

Broken brick or crushed stone is driven into the prepared site.
An ordinary mallet is also suitable for this.
We lay a broken brick on the surface of the soil and drive it into the ground.
The result is a more rigid foundation. In addition, after this, the adhesion between flat ground and the ground is improved.

The beacons are exposed to the solution, which is still thick. These are flat slats in the form of boards, with a diameter of 25 by 50 mm. They are leveled on a special fishing line.

What other steps are needed to build a barn from a profile pipe?

You need to wait a bit until the solution on the surface of the beacons becomes dry. Then everything is poured with concrete, grade M-250.

They proceed to do-it-yourself installation of sheathing from a profiled sheet. It is better to start with the main part of the roof. Laying a film with waterproofing properties is the first step, then the water will definitely not get on the head.
First there is one panel, and on it - the next. Step - 10 cm. For gluing, use adhesive tape with two sides.
Waterproofing spreads gradually, starting from the bottom and ending with the top.
The next step is the installation of the profiled sheet itself. The main thing is to set the first sheet correctly, this applies to any sheet material. Further work in this case will be easy and smooth. For measurements, squares, rulers and so on are used.
The sheet is screwed with screws after it is exposed.
Approximately the same principle is followed when it comes to side trim.

It can take up to 20 screws to fasten one sheet.

What's in the final stages?

As a result, the room turned out to be 26 square meters. This is more than an impressive area. As you can see, building everything with your own hands is not so difficult.

About some features of construction

The metal profile is most often used for shed upholstery, instead of boards. The material is easier to install, compared to its counterparts, it is more durable and more affordable.

But more rigidity sometimes gives all the same plank upholstery. It would be nice to strengthen the frame by installing jibs if the metal profile spans in the sheds are large enough.

For the metal profile and its fastening, special washers are needed - galvanized, with additional linings. But you can also put ordinary varieties if the above details are not available.

Corner elements are also needed special. It is recommended to lay the roof itself on the gasket. Otherwise, during the rain there will be a lot of unnecessary noise.

When connecting metal to a metal profile, they resort to using ordinary self-tapping screws, with heads similar to the tip of a drill. These drills need to drill both parts.

The main thing is to use a good screwdriver with enough power. Sometimes a hole is drilled first, and then a sheet with a self-tapping screw is fixed.

To build a hozblok or a barn with your own hands in the country, it is not necessary to buy blocks (aerated concrete, foam concrete) or bricks. It is enough to build a frame and sheathe it with a profiled sheet. You can do all the work yourself, which will save money.

What is a professional sheet and which one is better to choose?

This is a sheet of galvanized steel coated with polymer paints to protect against corrosion and damage. To increase strength and rigidity, it is profiled. The finished element has a wavy or trapezoidal surface. It is used most often for fences, walls and roofs of non-residential buildings.

They differ according to the following criteria:

scope;
height and shape of the corrugation;
thickness;
dimensions;
thickness and type of coating.

The height of the waves is from 8 to 57 mm. Thickness - 0.4-1 mm, it is this parameter that sets the scope of the material.

Positive traits:

Easy installation. You can build a utility block or a barn with corrugated boarding with your own hands, and you do not need to have any experience. Special screws are used.
Water protection. The profiled sheet is made of galvanized steel and coated with polymer paint. Thanks to this, the building will be reliably protected from precipitation, since drops of water will not be able to flow through it.
Light weight. Do not create a significant load. As a result, when building small buildings from frames, it is not necessary to make a foundation.
Wide range of colors. They can be painted in a variety of colors or even have an imitation of any material (wood, brickwork), so they will suit any area of \u200b\u200bthe interior.

The disadvantages include increased noise levels during rain. Also, in places where the material is cut, there is a risk of rust due to the lack of a protective coating. This minus can be partially eliminated by painting over sections of the sections, but you need to choose the right paint so that it does not stand out relative to the entire canvas.

When choosing, you should pay attention to the marking, according to which the purpose of the profiled sheets is determined. Meanings of letters (written in first place):

C - wall;
H - carrier;
NS is universal.

The number after the letters indicates the height of the waves. The next number is the thickness, the third is the width, the fourth is the length. All parameters are indicated in millimeters. For example, C10-0.5-1100-11500 means that this is a wall corrugated board with a wave height of 10 mm, with a metal thickness of 0.5, a width of 1100 and a length of 11500 mm.

Material marked H is most often used for roofing. The height of the corrugation starts from 4.4 cm. Elements with the letter C are wall elements, they are used only as wall decoration. The height of the waves is from 8 to 44 mm. NS - universal, they can be used for both walls and roofs.

The thicker the sheet and the higher the corrugation, the greater the bearing capacity it has. According to this criterion, corrugated roofing is selected. To do this, calculate what load it will experience from snow and winds. The larger it is, the higher the corrugation should be.

Technology and main stages of construction

The shed or utility block has the same structure as other buildings - the foundation, walls and roof. The main difference is a simpler scheme. Therefore, for an inexpensive hozblok, you can use building materials that cannot be used for a residential building.

The construction of a non-residential object consists of the following stages:

Choosing a place and drawing up a project with drawings.
Territory clearing.
Foundation preparation.
Frame placement.
Roof installation.
Fastening profiled sheets.
Installation of doors and windows.
Interior decoration.

First you need to draw up a project yourself with detailed drawings. All dimensions of the utility block must be indicated - width, length, height, rack positions, and so on. All these calculations will help not only to avoid mistakes, but also to determine the amount of material needed.

For the construction of the shed shed, metal strips or wooden beams are used. The latter is cheaper and easier to install. But the metal frame is more reliable and durable, and is also not afraid of moisture and insects. The building can be quickly disassembled, as it is fastened with self-tapping screws, which are easily unscrewed.

You can use metal profiles with a section of 20x40 mm or wooden bars measuring 10x10 cm. They will fully cope with the load from corrugated board and insulation.

Step-by-step instructions for building a barn

1. Before you draw up a project for a utility block, you need to choose a place, since the size and shape of the object depend on it. Take into account the distance from the main building, the fertility of the land on the site and the presence of other structures.

2. The selected area is cleared of debris, trees and shrubs. The upper fertile layer is removed. They make markings and carry out preparatory work for the installation of the foundation. If it is tape, then they dig a trench, columnar - holes, monolithic - dig a small pit. If the building is very small, then you can not do it at all, especially if the soil does not swell during freezing and thawing. To create a base, you will need to equip the formwork, reinforced frame and prepare a cement mortar. The subsequent stages are started only after the concrete has fully cured.

3. As soon as the foundation is ready, the arrangement of the crate begins. First place the bottom trim. Vertical racks will be installed on it at a distance of 1 m from each other, and the floor will also be laid. Wooden beams are best connected to each other according to the principle of the "thorn-groove" system. You can make grooves with a hacksaw or an ax. Fasten the racks with strapping screws, twisting them at an angle. For more reliable fastening, everything is connected with metal corners. If the floor is laid, then at a distance of 40-50 cm, transverse bars are laid and covered with boards.

4. From above, the vertical racks, as well as below, are connected by a horizontal strapping. They are fixed with metal corners and self-tapping screws. During assembly, places for windows and doors are provided and reinforced.

5. The roof on the barn made of wood and corrugated board is of two types - single and gable. In the first case, one of the walls is higher so that the structure is sloping (at least 30°). For a gable, identical walls are built. In both cases, the rafters are placed first, after which the crate is made. To prevent water from getting under the roof, a waterproofing material is placed, and it will also prevent condensation from accumulating.

6. Sheets are mounted on the walls. After installing them from the inside, insulation is laid between the racks (if necessary), for example, mineral wool slabs. The walls are covered with clapboard, plywood or other similar material, including plastic.

For the roof, it is recommended to purchase roofing corrugated board. If it is gable, then an additional ridge will be required, which will close the joints in the center of the building. During the manufacture of the frame, it is necessary to constantly check the evenness of the profiles or bars with a level (both vertically and horizontally).

To fasten the sheets, special self-tapping screws with a drill at the end are used. This design allows them to easily pass through metal. They also have a rubber gasket. The size is selected so that the length is 3.5 cm longer than the wave height. When choosing self-tapping screws, you should check what material they are intended for - metal or wood.

The cost of turnkey buildings

It is not necessary to build a building on your own, you can buy a ready-made hozblok. Its cost depends on the size and type of material from which it is made. They assemble the sheds either on their own, or the company selling them is engaged in this. You can buy a building not only as a place to store things, but also combined with something else, such as a shower or toilet.

Table with prices at which you can buy utility blocks from corrugated board (height 2 m, collapsible):

roof type	Dimensions, m	Price, rubles
Shed	2x1.1	33000
	2.2x2	37000
	4.4x2	44000
	5.5x2	55000
gable	2x1.1	36000
	3.3x2	46000
	5.5x2	75000

The price does not include delivery and installation, as well as the manufacture of windows (1000 rubles) and doors.

If there is little experience, then it is better to choose wooden blocks for the barn, since they are easier to work with than with a metal profile. One person can build the entire hozblok, the main thing is to check with the project drawings. It is even easier to make such a building if you buy a ready-made shed disassembled. Then you don't have to saw and cut anything, you just need to assemble it according to the instructions, like a constructor.
